Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1980

Before Colin could react, the Holland family had begun attacking again.

"This isn't working, Mr. Craig. They're too strong. If we fight back and run out of bullets, we'll just be sitting ducks!" one of his subordinates said, subtly suggesting retreating.

With no other choice, Colin gritted his teeth and made the call. "Plant the explosives and bring whatever you can with you. We'll blow up the rest. Fall back!"

After they retreated, a series of explosions erupted from the ship.

Devastated, Stanson watched as his cargo turned to ashes.

"What did I do to deserve this? Why is it always me?" he thought before fainting.

…

"Cheers!"

Back at the Newton residence in Miravell, the Newtons and their allies were having a barbecue party to celebrate another successful takedown of Trinity Alliance.

After the first toast, Helen noticed Reggie diligently tending to the food on the grill while everyone else was relaxing.

She nudged Chandler with her elbow. "Ask Reggie to join us. It's not fair that everyone gets to eat while he does all the work."

Chandler glanced at Reggie and reassured her, "Trust me, he's definitely happier with food than he is with us rowdy humans."

Helen was surprised. "With that kind of personality, how's he ever going to get a partner?"

"That's why he's still single," Chandler replied nonchalantly.

Helen laughed awkwardly. "Well, as his boss, you're partly to blame for that."

"You sure did," Taylor answered with a wry smile. "That was for Abigail."

Kingsley nearly choked. Who would've thought a woman would like eating gator meat?

To avoid things like the yogurt incident from the other day, he had even deliberately stayed away from food like chicken wings or drumsticks.

"My bad, I didn't think anyone would take those. Sorry about that," Kingsley reluctantly apologized.

Annoyed, Abigail said sarcastically, "Some people don't bother helping at all, yet come running over whenever there's food. They think they can forget their manners just because they're older than others!"

Kingsley sighed. "It's just some meat. No need to make a big deal out of it."

"Oh, yeah? Because you said so? Well, who do you think you are?" Abigail snapped, her temper flaring. "This is the second time you've stolen my food. I'm warning you. If you do that one more time, things won't end with just a lecture!"
